"A truth-seeking biography of an iconic cheerleader for LSD and his adventures in consciousness expansion"-with a foreword by Winona Ryder (Paul Krassner, founder of
The Realist).
The 1960s and '70s wouldn't have been the same without Timothy Leary, the renowned psychologist turned psychedelic drug guru. Always challenging authority, Leary rose to prominence through groundbreaking experiments, achieving mystical states and visions using magic mushrooms and LSD. A counterculture hero, his exploits inspired President Richard Nixon to call him "the most dangerous man in America."
In
I Have America Surrounded, cultural historian John Higgs delivers an account of Leary's wild and controversial life-from his inglorious time at West Point and his successful career in academia at Harvard, to the establishment of a psychedelic "summer camp" in Mexico, to his imprisonment, escape, and life as a fugitive in Algiers and Switzerland. Leary and his spiritual revolution were joined by such luminaries as Aldous Huxley, Allen Ginsberg, and Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters. He was kidnapped by Black Panthers, became an FBI narc, and ran for governor of California.
I Have America Surrounded is the story of a search for alternate meaning and realities by a man who "was a Chieftain. He stomped on the terra, and he left his elegant hoof prints on all our lives" (Hunter S.Thompson).
"Anyone interested in Leary beyond seeing him traduced will be sure to enjoy it, if not love it." -
